IPv6 brings benefits in terms of network address policy, peer-to-peer support and privacy. By reducing IPv4 to backward compatibility we set the tone for a long-overdue transition. The approach given below makes it very attractive too; full IPv6 benefits for those who make the effort to at least install a tunnel, with fully reliable client-server usage patterns for those who stick to IPv4.
